THE Harry Potter author, who stayed at the Marcliffe near
Aberdeen for several months to be near her ill father-in-law, was so
impressed by staff that she sent Dobby to live there.
JK ROWLING has given staff at a Scots hotel an unusual thank you present – the Harry Potter film model of Dobby the house elf.
The
millionaire author spent several months at the Marcliffe at Pitfodels
near Aberdeen while her father-in-law was in hospital in the city.
And
she was so impressed with the way the staff looked after them that
she’s sent Dobby to stay with them. He’s now living in a glass case at
the hotel.
Dobby had to slave away in the kitchens at Hogwarts but Marcliffe owner Stewart Spence says he’s now happily retired.
And
when the hotel closes its doors next November – it’s due to be turned
into offices – Dobby will flit to the Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen, where
Stuart sits on the board.
